Andre Ward vs Sergey Kovalev fight time and where to watch it
THE build up has been tense as Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev finally come to their rematch for the unified WBA, IBF and WBO light-heavyweight championship at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on Saturday (June 17). The two have scarcely managed to be the same room at the same time with one another but at a frosty weigh-in on Friday they hit the scales, came in exactly on the 175lbs limit and went head to head.
Rounds scheduled
12 three minute rounds.
